Windows 11 ReFS - A few benchmarks (NTFS vs. ReFS)

A few days ago we reported in general about how Windows 11 installed on a ReFS partition behaves.There are still a few things that need to be fixed before Microsoft ReFS can be released to the general public.

ReFS can already be used on Windows Server.With the current Windows 11 Insider it is already possible to use the hidden function.In addition to ReFS as a partitioning choice, ReFS has also been integrated for the setup.

The ReFS (Resilient File System) is the latest file system from microsoftthat maximizes data availability, effectively scales large datasets across diverse workloads, and provides data integrity with core resiliency to corruption.It attempts to address the expansion of various storage scenarios and establish a foundation for future innovation.

is currently in use ReFS 3.9.But as already mentioned in the other post, there are still many construction sites.Even if ReFS can handle the DISM repair commands, an update installation via DISM is currently not possible.

After Birkuli had installed Windows 11 on ReFS on his computer, he did not notice any loss of speed.The system and programs themselves start quickly and without problems.However, the benchmarks show something different.Birkuli tested the ReFS system for this and then installed Windows 11 (insider) as normal on NTFS and also carried out the tests there.The results show clear differences in some cases.Although it was not noticeable when working, as Birkuli wrote to me.But look at the individual comparisons.I’ll leave them uncommented.
